What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising** with one substantial article about wedding customs. The main editorial content is "Love Knots and Hitches," a humorous piece advising newlyweds (particularly brides) about the tradition of throwing shoes after departing couples. The author, Harold Stinner, argues the custom is harmless and traces its origin to the Book of Ruth, where a kinsman removed his shoe to signify a legal transaction. The satirical advice suggests brides can use the "shoe privilege" to manage difficult grooms—literally throw a shoe at an irritable groom and he'll become docile ("fawn on you like a hungry calf"). The joke relies on early-20th-century gender dynamics and marital expectations, presenting matrimonial conflict with humorous inevitability while offering absurd "biblical" justification for domestic shoe-throwing. The remainder consists of advertisements: Burlington Watch Company (with approval coupon), Hotel Albert in NYC, Old Overholt Rye whiskey, and various other products. No political cartoons appear on this page.

The storm is soon spent—a rush—a bucking of the line—a tackle—a torn set of feel- ings and a lacerated bonnet—a taxicab— and then—farewell to the jealous artiller- ists, and the honeymoon dawns. Let not the bride deplore the custom of her guests, who delight to belabor her in commemoration of that ancient prac- tice of throwing old shoes after the de- parting newly wed. The motive is harm- less and affords a hint—a good one! The bride should know that the shoe episode gives her a rare privilege, for putting the groom at odds. This particular privilege is called the shoe privilege and has its origin in Holy Writ. What befell, as recorded in the book of Ruth? There seems to have been an argument over the dower. Then the near kinsman of Boaz made a settlement. He squared himself, as itwere. He not only squared himself (for action), but signified his relinquish- ment of both the girl and the estate: he took off his shoe and gave it to Boaz— gave it to him—handed it to him! There's a suggestion for you, fair bride of June, who may ere now be at odds with the groom. In that case, remember the shoe privilege. Don’t falter—the scheme is a perfect revelation of success. The groom is glum? Then he’s a human. Cross? Abear! Ugly? A brute! Now for the shoe. Don’t take it off—keep it on— start it moving—start them both—get them going. Then hand it to him—give it tohim! He’ll makea great furore, but after a little he'll fawn on you like a hungry calf, and lick your boots and eat pie out of your hand.

Snarls From a Spinster’'s Loom WOMEN who live in glass houses should patronize the best modistes. Buying a hat is like choosing a hus- band: you cannot find an attractive one which wears well. Women who pose as men haters are usually men baitérs, with the wrong kind of angleworms on their hooks. Laugh at all a man’s jokes, and he will love you; applaud with discrimination, he will admire you; convey a doubt as to whether he or his joke is the subject of his mirth, he will fear and avoid you, III things come to him who waits. You have to outrun the other kind. Life is like swimming: he goes fastest and farthest who goes with the current. Love is a comedy to all who think, and heaven and hell to the thoughtless.
